    Can anyone help? Got up this morning to realise that I had left the window down slightly on the passenger side of the car and it was raining. Used a towel to dry up inside of inetrior on door and dash but fabric on seat feels a little damp too. Anyway to make sure it doesn't end up moulding/ smelling etc?

    Heater & a/c on full, try to aim vents at the damp bit.

    Buy/rent/borrow a de-humidifier and leave it in the car for as long as it takes; anything from a few hours to a day or two depending on how much moisture is in there.

    Learned this one from a car valetor! when drying seats after shampooing
    run the engine at idle with the interior heater fan on full and leave all front and rear windows open 1/2 an inch this forces the damp vapour from the car.
    Its really amazing how effective this is and how quickly the seats will dry if you stand beside the car you can feel the warm damp air been forced out through the small gap in the windows. !

    I've used a de-humidifier and found it great. Left it plugged in for 2 days and it pulled about 2 pints of water out of the car eventhough the seat and carpet appeared dry.

    In fairness though the air in a car is nearly always going to be cold, damp air. Not much different from sticking a de-humidifier out in your shed. A bit pointless unless you're trying to dry something.

    Our valetors do the same, works a treat.
